Migration
Migrating from ManyChat to CommentTap
Switching tools should not mean rebuilding everything from scratch. If you already run Instagram comment-to-DM campaigns in ManyChat, most of what matters — your trigger keywords and your saved replies — moves across in a few minutes. CommentTap keeps the setup deliberately small: pick a goal, bring your keywords, write the DM and publish. This page walks through what carries over cleanly, what to leave behind, and how the built-in import helper speeds up the move.
How they compare
CommentTap vs ManyChat
ManyChat is a broad multi-channel platform, so a full export of every flow will not map one-to-one onto a focused tool — and that is by design. The parts worth migrating are the ones that drive comment-to-lead results: the keywords that trigger a reply and the canned messages you send back. CommentTap's import helper takes a pasted list of keywords straight into the campaign builder and loads your saved replies into a shared Message Library, so recreating a campaign is a matter of minutes rather than an afternoon.
| Feature | CommentTap | ManyChat |
|---|---|---|
| What you migrate | Keywords and saved replies | Full multi-channel flows |
| Keywords | Paste a list — deduplicated and prefilled into the builder | Recreated inside each flow |
| Saved replies | Imported into a shared Message Library | Stored inside individual flows |
| Time to migrate a campaign | A few minutes per post | Longer, flow by flow |
| What you leave behind | Branching logic you rarely need | Deep flows across many channels |
| After migrating | Guided comment-to-lead campaigns | A broad automation suite |
FAQ
Questions, answered
- What can I actually bring over from ManyChat?
- The two things that matter for comment-to-DM: your trigger keywords and your saved replies. Export them as a plain list or CSV, then import them into CommentTap in a couple of steps.
- Do I have to rebuild my flows?
- No, and you usually should not. CommentTap replaces branching flows with a guided, goal-based campaign, so you recreate the outcome — comment to lead — rather than the flowchart behind it.
- How long does migrating a campaign take?
- For a single post, only a few minutes. Paste your keywords into the import helper, load your saved replies into the Message Library, then set the DM and destination in the builder and publish.
